Richard,

That is correct. I did not test 10.7 with AVF as the LC 6.7.4 release
notes (page 11) on AV Foundation support specifically states: "Note
AVFoundation player is supported in OSX 10.8 and above. On systems
running OSX 10.6 and 10.7,
LiveCode continues to provide player functionality using the QTKit API."

I was trying to cover 10.6 and 10.7 since LiveCode 6.7.4 and 7.0.4 state
they support OSX 10.6 and up.

I will try testing AVF under Lion. Thanks for the idea.
